DARING TR4IN ROBBERN.
Four Masked Men Stop and Rifle th
Southern Pacific West Bound Express

Southern Pacific West Bound Express
The west-bound passenger express
train on the southern Pacific was run of
switch near Papago, about fifteen miles
east OF Tucson, Ari., on the night of the
10th by four masked men. The engine
WAS dltched and the express car robbed
OF about s3, 500. The robbery occurred
at the same point where the west bound
express WAS robbed in April last. On
the track beyond where the train was
brought to standstill the robbers fast
ened three tOrpedoes to warn the en-
gineer and compel bim to stop his
train. The plan to turn the switch
ard ditch the engine WAS evident
ly thought of later. As soon as the
train went in the ditch, one of the rob
bers who WAS upon the bank, began firing
his Winchester rife. He shot twice
through the sleeper and twice through
the express. They then went TO the mail
car and made the men come out and
gong 10 the express they ordered the
messenger to come out, but he would
not open the door. They then blew the
door open with giant cartridge and
forced the mail agent to 90 into the car
ahead. Two of the robbers then went

Startling Developments in Regard to the
Pacific Roads.

New York, Aug l3.-A Washington
special TO the World SAYS that a state
ment in detail of the affairs Of the Pacific
railroads is being prepared by Mai. Red
dIngton, with a view of the prosecution
both criminal and civil of the directors
OF these companies. 1t is well-knOwn
fact that the government and the Cen
trail and Union Pacific roads have been
outrageously plundered by the directors
of these roads of about S75, ,OGO 600 1t
Is also fact that all this money could
be recovered, provided the government
took proper action, and it is now inti-
mated that it intends doing so, and
when the proper time arrives Mai. Red
dington Will produce the name of man
who acted as paymaster for Huntington
and his agent, Sherrell, for services per
formed in Washington, or in other
words Gin explaining" to members of
Congress their duty regarding the Pa
Citic roads. There is sufficient evidence
in Huntingdon testimony on which to
base an Indictment of Huntington and
most of his associates, on the Judgment
of good lawyers. But when the Pacific
Railroad Commission make their re-
port after completing their investiga-
tiOns il is believed that there will be
sufficient material to bring a case against
every member of the Pacific Railroad

COUNTING THE SLAIN.
The Number of Dead Placed at Eighty.

The Number of Dead Placed at Eighty
Two.
CHATSwoRTH, H., Aug. ..l3.-It has been
difficult to get an accurate list OF the
names of the dead, or even the number
of victims. Many were reported dead
who were injured and the names of 9TH
ers who were missed by friends or ac-
quaintances were reported as among
the lost. Now that the dead
have been identified with Il
few exceptions, the total number
of victims is placed at 50. Although up
to the present the dead, including a
body recovered from the wreck late last
night, number not more than y, there
is reasonable room for the belief that
there have been deaths, perhaps halt a
dozen, resulting from the tragedy, which
cannot be definitely reported owing
to the confusion and lack of system
when the bodies were being taken away.
Neither can the full list of the wounded
be presented TO the public, Tor scores
whose injuries were light enough to per
NIT, took trains at ChatsWOrth or Piper
City at the first opportunity and went
home at once. The official list of wound
ed who have been cared for here and in
Piper City does not at present show
more than 100, but there is no doubt
whatever that many more than that were
wounded, notwithstanding that the de-
tails are not and cannot be put IN writ
ing.

WAsHINGToN, D. c., Aug. 13.-The first
prosecution under the ridiculous police
regulations announced by the reform
District commissioners some time ago
against the Growing of roosters was
brought to-day before Judge Harper.
The case was brought upon
the complaint of Rosetta Bron-

is the owner Of the fowl which broke the
law by crowingin the hearing Of the
neighbors. She is the poor woman who
owns the seven hens and a rooster, and
although she insisted that they were as
law-abiding fowls as could be found in
the district, she WAS fined 3. This was
suspended on the promise to kill the

Nebraska lifE,

\ report has been received of tiend-

Burlington < Missouri River road at a
place ten miles west of Nebraska City,
Neb., on the night of the 18th As a
passenger train was crossing a trestle
bridge across a deep ravine the wood
work was discovered to be on fire. An
investigation disclosed the fact that the
stringers and braces were entirely con
sumed and the bridge in a shaky condi-
ton. The train was unusually light and
this alone prevented fearful catas-
trophe. Detectives are working up the

Northern Syndicate Buys 100, 900 Acres
of Southern Timber.
A syndicate of New York and Pitts
burg capitalists have just closed a trans
action by which they become the own
ers of nearly 100, 900 acres of the finest
pine forests in the South. The lands
are along the northern line of South
Carolina and the southern boundary OF
Georgia, most of it being in the latter
state. The price paid was 100000
The deal was made through a promi-
nent real estate firm III Pittsburg. The
intention of the purchasers is not to de-
velop the lands but to hold them as an
Investment until the advance in the
price of lumber greatly increases their
value.

Their Deserts.

CHICAGO, H., Aug. u.-About the last
scenes in the great Doodle case were en-
acted to-day. Commissioners Casselman,
Oliver and Mccarthy who had been
fined 81 900 by the jury were arraigned
together for sentence before Judge
Jameson and crowded court room.
Standing in an irregular line, none of
them erect, and all with flushed
ia ,es and eyes on the foor, the trio
heard the l1rmal decree of their dis
grace. Not Cne had word to say IN
their own behalf. They quickly paid in
their fines and disappeared from the
room. Informers Lynn and klehm,
commissioners ike the 9TH
ers, were brought, and craving
mercy of the judge, pleaded guilty and
were let off also with a fine of 81 900 each.
McClaughrey made a long plea in his
own behalf When he finished be said:
If your honor considers that you can
with propriety and justice sentence me

Awful Crash.

Awful Crash.
CHATswORTH, H., Aug. 12.-The most
compre ebensible accounted how the acci-
dent occurred is given by Engineer
Sutherland. Three miles east Of Chats
worth is a little slough, where the rail-
road track crosses a dry run about 10
feet deep and Is wide. Over this
was an ordinary wooden trestle; and
as the excursion train came thun-
derlng down on il, what WAS the horror
Of the engineer when he saw that this

TO stop. Had there been warning, it
would nave taken half mile to stop that
Onrushing mass of wood, iron, and hui

100 Yards of the red-tongued
messenger Of death before they
flashed their fatal signals into the engi-
neer's face. But he passed over in safe
y, the first engine keeping the rails.
As II went over the bridge fell beneath

instantly the deed Of death was done.
Car crashed into car, coaches piled one
on top ofanother, and in the twink.ing
ofan eye nearly 100 people found in
stant death and 50 more were so hurt
they could not live As for the wound

ST. LOUIS, No, Aug. 9.-Jery Pagels,
the murderer of Sam Kohn, under SEN
tenCe to be hanged Friday, August y,
committed suicide in his cell last night
by cutting the artery of his left arm

the blood might not attract attention.
When his cell was visited 81 O'Clock
this morning he was dead. Pagels killed
Samuel Kohn on November 10, 1885, be-
cause the latter, who was a salesman for
q rival tannery, secured some of Psgels'
trade. The case, after passing through
all the state courts, Was appealed 70
Justice Harlan and again last Saturday
to Justice Miller for a writ Of error. 1t

THE IORDs KICK.
British Lords Threaten TO Rebel Agains
the Land Bill.


A number of Tory peers threaten TO
reject the amendments TO the land bill
introduced in the house of commons and
especially the clause providing for re-
vision of Judicial rents. They have also
warned the government not to attempt
to deal with the question of arrears.
The attitude of these lords has paral-
wed the cabinets action in further
amending the land DILL TO satisfy the
Pa nellites. The Gladstonian whips have
sent notice TO the members in the coun-
try to be ready to return if the peers
mutilate the bill, and the Parnelites
have been ordered TO remUster in full
force. Lord Salisbury and all the min
isterislsts are exerting the utmost pres
sure to suppress the revolt of the peers.
At an informal meeting at the Clarendon
Club the sentiment of those present was
on the side of the peers, but the general
opinion was that the Government, by
threatening TO withdraw the bill, could
override all opposition.
